BLS for Healthcare Courses

Basic Life Support classes, or BLS classes, are intended for healthcare professionals who need BLS CPR certification credentialing for upcoming and current employment; for in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings. This BLS course covers key changes in basic life support for adults, children, and infants.

BLS is sometimes interchangeable with CPR certification on job applications. However, CPR courses are not always at the same level of BLS certification for healthcare professionals. Check with your employer to see which certification is required at your healthcare facility. Healthline First Aid offers many CPR courses along with our BLS classes.
